Teeth

Cambridge Manuals in Archaeology

by Simon Hillson, Graeme Barker (Editor), Elizabeth Slater (Editor)

Teeth yield remarkable information about animals as well as the health, hygiene and diet of ancient communities. In this fully revised and up-dated edition of his classic text, Simon Hillson draws together a mass of information on dental studies in archaeology and related disciplines. The book's treatment of mammals is extended to include mammals of North America and Asia north of the Himalayas. The form of roots are now detailed with figures showing root socket patterns in different genera. The new edition also includes an appendix on methods.

[Lee Broderick]

Exceptional coverage of all things teeth in archaeology: a vast atlas for identification as well as covering what to do with them after that stage is completed. This edition covers newer scientific analysis techniques as well.

sufficient, but when you spend a semester working with a book it's hard not to see everything wrong with a book.
